2 thoughts on “Medieval Term of the Day: Scutage”

Hi Steven,
Scutage was around long before the 15thC. It’s listed in all the pipe rolls I’ve got for the reigns of Richard and John – in Latin, not English, but I would expect any barons having a conversation about it would use the common form. ‘Have you paid your scutage this year, or are you going personally?’ type of thing.
